A Few Good Words

Hello from Steve Atwater
Steve Atwater (LHSN 84) was North’s top scholar athlete in 1984, playing football, basketball and track. After graduating from the University of Arkansas, where he was a two-time All-American football player, Steve played for the Denver Broncos for 10 years, including two Super Bowl championships, was selected for the Pro Bowl eight times, and was recently named to the Denver Ring of Fame, one of 20 great Denver Broncos on the facade around the stadium. He is now a licensed real estate agent and investor in Atlanta, Georgia. His company invests in single family, mulit-family and commercial properties primarily in the Metro Atlanta area. Steve and his wife Letha reside in the Atlanta, Georgia suburb of Duluth with their three sons, Stephen Jr., DiAndre and Paris, and their daughter, Malaysia. They are members of New Mercies Christian Church in Lilburn, Georgia.

"Lutheran North helped me become a responsible, honorable, caring young man. The education and grounding I received at North helped me make a smooth transition from playing pro football to working as a real estate investor.

"Success is about controlling your own destiny by assessing your own abilities, setting goals, and prioritizing your time to achieve those goals. It's going to get a lot tougher when you get to college because no one will care like your teachers here care."
